Thousands of satellites are circling the planet right now, and almost none of them can think for themselves.
When something goes wrong, a spacecraft reports the problem and waits. It waits for a ground station to pass overhead. It waits for a team on Earth to read the telemetry, find the cause and send back a fix. Hours pass. Sometimes days. All that time, a machine worth millions sits idle, or drifts toward something worse.
That model worked when there were a handful of spacecraft in orbit. It breaks when there are tens of thousands. You cannot run a constellation by hiring more people to watch it.
Spacecraft autonomy starts
with onboard intelligence.
Our software will run onboard and make the calls ground teams make every single day. Catch a failing component and recover it before the next pass. Rebalance power through an eclipse. Replan the day the moment conditions change.
It will learn from how expert operators run missions, and act within hard safety limits that no model can override.
People stay in charge of what matters. Routine decisions happen in orbit, in seconds. The calls that need human judgment come home to the people who should make them. Operators decide how much the spacecraft handles on its own, and that authority grows with every mission flown.
Space autonomy, from Earth orbit
to deep-space missions.
Satellites that recover in seconds instead of days. Fleets that grow without mission control growing with them. Ground teams freed from staring at dashboards to work on the problems only they can solve.
Deep-space missions cannot depend on an immediate answer from Earth. Communication delays and gaps in contact mean spacecraft need to respond to changing conditions onboard. We are developing the intelligence for autonomous mission operations: monitoring spacecraft health, adapting plans and responding within defined safety limits.
Our long-term vision is fully autonomous spacecraft for deep-space exploration. Vehicles that operate on their own, answering to their mission instead of waiting for a ground station. The work starts with onboard autonomy software and grows toward spacecraft built around that capability.
Cars are learning to drive themselves.
Spacecraft will learn to fly themselves.
